Definitions of Managed Objects for
the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Version 3 (VRRPv3)
Abstract
This specification defines a portion of the Management Information
Base (MIB) for use with network management based on the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). In particular, it defines
objects for configuring, monitoring, and controlling routers that
employ the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Version 3 (VRRPv3) for
both IPv4 and IPv6 as defined in RFC 5798. This memo obsoletes RFC
2787.

1. The Internet-Standard Management Framework
For a detailed overview of the documents that describe the current
Internet-Standard Management Framework, please refer to section 7 of
RFC 3410 [RFC3410].
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. MIB objects are generally
accessed through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Objects in the MIB are defined using the mechanisms defined in the
Structure of Management Information (SMI). This memo specifies a MIB
module that is compliant to the SMIv2, which is described in STD 58,
RFC 2578 [RFC2578], STD 58, RFC 2579 [RFC2579] and STD 58, RFC 2580
[RFC2580].
